Exterior of a House: Brainstorming handout.

A great lesson for primary students to learn a little about architecture is to have them build or draw an exterior of a home.

Your class knows what belongs on the outside of a home, but they do not always know how to draw it. I usually have them call things out and I draw them on the board for them to reference later.

That doesn't always work. Some classes perhaps can not handle that experience. That is why I drew up this Exterior of a House brainstorming handout. It's not the prettiest. I know I did it just before a class came to see me, but it has the basics. The kids always have better ideas then what I drew, and that is exactly what it is for!
